Sheep Trail Campground - Highway 21

Sheep Trail Campground is a small campground offering one group site that consists of four smaller sites. The group site can accommodate up to 40 people. If the group site is not reserved, the individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations can be made by visiting www.recreation.gov or by calling (877)444-6777. 

Summer wildflowers are plentiful and a mixed stand of pines provides partial shade. A small creek runs next to the campground.  The Idaho Centennial Trail passes through going north/south. Numerous sparkling lakes and streams, including the Salmon River, dot the area, making for great rainbow and native Westslope cutthroat trout fishing. Stanley Lake and Redfish Lake are nearby, offering excellent boating, waterskiing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing.
